    In san fran i met alex. was right across the walkway from him and his wife and got to talk to him for the whole weekend. Real nice guy that does real solid work. Those 2 pontiacs were awesome. They really had a good mr. and mrs. look goin on but in a good way.

    I know i was impatient when this thread first started but its been worth the wait.
    kick ass color choices CAB.

    Can't wait to see it all together.

    the firewall that Alex reconstructed and cut to fit the MAG. note the nice rounded edges he added to the firewall to give it a cleaner and more flowing look to it...nice! He's adding bondo and primer to it soon!

    the doors may be painted this weekend.
    thanks for peeping,
    CAB
     
  4. We were talking about your car tonight at Big Dogs, you should have come down & got on the TV!


    Looking good Steve, Alex & his crew look to be doing an awesome job, really looking forward to seeing it finished.

    man... i wish i could:( but i got shipped to the East Coast for the Vans Warped tour till the 17th of August ( two weeks)!
    so it will be much of a surprize to me as it will be you when the Coupe is done hopefully when i get back from my skate duty calling.

    ...so if any you "EAST COAST HAMBERS" happen to come to any Warped Tour shows come up and say hello at the mini-ramp or the Vans tent and if "any of you" want to come to any shows, send me a PM and i'll see what i can do to get you in:)
    check the http://www.warpedtour.com/dates.html for tour dates in your area!

    I can't get anyone in for "NY-Randells Island" show because that place get's out of hand and everyone wants in for FREE, so passes are limited and not available for me there:(
    best wishes and i'll post more pics of the final outcome of the Coupe when i get home.

    10 pages... it took me all afternoon to read it... But I gotta say that this has been the most enteresting thread I've seen on Hamb yet... Like ridin' shot gun in the 32 Desoto cupe down to Paso, or LA and back... or ridin' the Big Dipper on the Board Walk in Santa Cruze... cool very cool!

    Alex... Jason... Bill... and who ever else worked on that car you've got my respect!

    Steve I loved that car from when Buddy brought it to Paso the first time. I took a picture of Danny's A-Bone coupe reflected in the rear hubcap... But I'm really glad to see you put your own stamp on it!... It's lookin' good. The extra work Alex put in will be well worth the wait... can't wait to see the car in person...

    Good luck on your trip... Take Care!

    i think everyone on the Hamb is folling this post. 10 pages and 200 posts is bad ass. Once more pics show up itll just keep getting longer and longer.
    Can't wait.

    Hey Cab, it looks great and thanks for keeping us up-to-date with the progress.

    (But- I can't believe this post went to 11 pages and no mooch asked about what you were doing with your OLD decklid? The green one. I need one for my '30 coupe-de-sweet.)

    Anyway, can't wait to see it done!

    I think Nosurf needs that firewall for his coupe so he can make it to the Drags.
